    What are the best day trips from Portland?

    Thinking:

    Mount Hood/Lakes Around there
    Silver Falls
    Oregon Coast- either go to Seaside/Astoria or Newport

    No hiking. Maybe very brief. More like drive into a parking lot, see a lake and take a selfie and jet to the next spot.

    Take her to Astoria, the column, Fort Clatsop, shopping, beach, Ft Stevens Historical Site.

    It's a nice introduction to some of the beauty and history of Oregon.

    And easy selfies.

    Yeah, we did a trip to Seaside last year, but we stopped at a lot of beaches, Haystack Rock, etc. Got too dark to get to Astoria. Wanted to show her the Peter Iredale.

    Is Hood River worth hitting up at all? Looked like a nice little town.

    Mult Falls is closed. Beacon rock maybe also. Hood River is nice, not a ton of selfie shots.

    A day trip to Timberline lodge is always fun. You can take her to the Alpine Slide too.
